Sheffield F.C. was one of the world's first football clubs and is the oldest still-existing club to now play football (soccer), having been founded in 1857.

It is often said to have been founded in 1855, although there is no evidence of this. The team was originally based on various grounds in Sheffield, England, including Bramall Lane, now home of Sheffield United.

History

---

In 1855, members of a Sheffield cricket club organised informal kick abouts without any official basis. On October 24, 1857 Nathaniel Creswick and William Prest, two former Harrovians formed Sheffield Football Club. The Sheffield club is the oldest football club in the world among those that have played, or do play, football. It is the oldest documented club, in any code of football, in England.
